It is refreshing to find a young women so into our Savior. Thanks for the invite to your site. I am 40 this september, a daughter, sister, wife and mom. I have been a believer in Christ since I was 9. But it only began to really mean something to me about 6 years ago when I lost the most awesome man in my life, my dad. I guess you could say I was a stagnet christan comfortable to ride my dad’s coat tails. Since losing dad I have become the mantel wearer in our family a job I never thought I would have or if I did would I love it so much. Dont get me wrong I miss my dad somthin fierce but I now have the oppertunity to try to fill his foot steps. It is an huge honor and a very big job one that I am relishing if for nothing else I am growing in Christ. Had I know 20 years ago being obediant was such a blessing I probably would have done it more. So now I love finding others who love my Savior as much as I have grown to. So Wow thanks!!!

Heather,
You know it’s weird- I was reading this page about you, and it didn’t hit me before how much we have in common!: I love to read, and I am the youngest in my family too! I turned 26 years old this last January, in fact, so we are not far from age. So, I find this fascinating stuff! =) =) Where is Ocean City, by the way? I live in WA. state.

Heather,
I stumbled upon your website while looking for advice on how to be the “50’s wife”. Unfortunately I had to wade through alot of garbage before I made it to your site. However, it was worth the trip.
Thank you for your dedicated and courageous point of view. I truly believe the world would be a better place if more people embraced the belief of being the wife that God wants them to be.
My question for you is how do I support my husband as the disciplinary center of our family w/out becoming a doormat to my children. I have three kids (2 of my own & 1 of his)and I constantly struggle in this area. In addition, if I feel something needs to be dealt w/ and my husband is not “up to dealing with it” it frustrates him, makes him angry and makes the situation worse.
What do I do, now and in the future, as a submissive wife and friend to my soulmate?
Please reply, I respect your opinion.
Thank you,
Marne

Greetings Heather!
I know I’m a late bloomer in terms of knowing about your blog and website. I’m a newlywed and was experiencing some difficulty with communication with my husband that I PERCEIVED to be on my husband’s part. I said a prayer and strong images and thoughts of the book, \The Praying Wife\ came to mind. I remembered it from some time ago, but I couldn’t find my copy. While looking online for that book, I came across your website and read \Your Husband is Irrelevant - What?\ That was truly a blessing! Prayers surely are answered! I realized that my PERCEPTIONS were in fact incorrect and most of the problems I experienced were due to me looking at my husband with a microscope and failing to look toward God. Your article was a healing. I absolutely love this website and your advice! I’m actually of another faith, but what I love is that your advice is not just Christian in words alone, but also in spirit! You have such a beautiful spirit and have truly inspired me to serve my husband as a striving wife. Thanks again! Keep up the beautiful work!
